In our annual 50 Politicos to Watch issue, we bring you a snapshot of the politicians, bureaucrats, administration officials, campaign gurus, military brass, fixers and party hounds you need to keep an eye on in the weeks and months ahead. For good measure, we’ve included some of the hottest new restaurants in town that you may want to try and an essay by our own Roger Simon about the perils of celebrity and also of gnawing on unthawed frozen pizza — or something like that.

The list is neither scientific in its methodology nor all-inclusive in scope. It’s the brainchild of POLITICO reporters and editors, and we hope it’s taken in the spirit of fun with which it was created. If you feel you were deserving and didn’t make it, perhaps next year. In any case, we hope you enjoy the issue.
